A possible way to obtain modified poly(styrene) (PS) with a new complex of properties: 2–3 times higher impact resistance in a combination with significantly increased tensile strength and bending strength, 6–8 times higher flowability and strongly increased adhesion is described here. It is established that the modified PS new properties complex is a result from an elastification, nitrification, structure modification, and “critical” phenomena in the two component system studied. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
